First update in ages!

So I'm sorry for not writing on here more often, things have been somewhat stressful and hectic, between building our home across the street, work, and a boyfriend... my head gets all caught up in a whirlwind and things like a blog are easily forgotten!

However... I have no clue what to talk about on here today :S. Hmmm...

I guess I'll write about God, that's always a good start right? Lately I've felt bad because I haven't been keeping up with my prayer and devotional life (the number one most common thing people say EVER I know.. haha), but I really do feel bad. After school I sort of figured that I'd keep on top of these things, I mean, some crazy growth happened there... and I feel like I've been doing some shrinking! I think I need to remember to keep God before things like my man, and to just give up the stresses like work and money to Him; let's face it, He can handle it! I still struggle with being too independent though, it's hard to not try and work through those sorts of issues on my own.

I realize that I need to get a different job, the Willow just doesn't cut it. I found out that I'm being paid the same amount as the 14 yr old part timers, which made me pretty upset. And I'm working 3 hours shifts, which isn't good enough right now, as I should have been able to easily make $4,000 this summer, and in all honesty, I've barely made $1,500. Then again, I've had to take off more time than usual, between totalling the van, surgery and medical trips, etc etc etc.

I guess maybe I'd like some prayer that I'll be able to figure all of this stuff out... otherwise I don't think I'll be going to school in January, haha. I'll just have to work through the entire year and then start fresh at Toronto, though I really don't want to do that, I really want to take the courses at Briercrest first, they'll help out SO much. My caps lock key is broken. Ugh. Maybe I just have a weak pinky finger...

In other news.. Sandon left around 4:45 am today to go and do his album in Saskatchewan, and I'm definitely going to miss him! Not only am I in a relationship with him... he's also the only person in all of Snow Lake I hang out with, everyone else drinks and sleeps around and do a lot of things that I honestly don't want to be around or involved in. Not that I'm mean to them... on the contrary, I laugh and joke with them whenever I run into them... but I really don't want to go to the bar every night, or know who's the best person to sleep with in town. I think Snow Lake needs a cafe... or something. Anyway, I'm going to miss him a lot... and I hope everything goes really well, he has all of his musicians lined up, and the photographer for his album shoot and what not... I'm just excited for the CD, he'd better give me a free one!

And last but not least.. I get my stitches out today! I should've gotten them out about a week ago, but noooo.. I had to wait for Mom and Dad to go to Winnipeg first (and they completely forgot to pick up my sweaters from Old Navy, the darlings.) so it's long overdue! I hope the scar isn't too bad... but eh, at the same time.. not many people can brag about the scar I have! And I've started another book, at the moment I'm not sure how to kill off a few of the characters in Amnesin during the war scene I'm writing, and as it's the finale, I want it to seem somewhat epic and really gruesome when they die... so instead I'm starting a different book while I wait for a grand idea to come to me, haha.

Ciao bellas... and gentlemen?
